I just think over the top improvements in odd colors.
The bath remodeled in white marble & red wallpaper with giant gold statues. Price range would be $100K tops.
The kitchen with painted cabinets in odd colors. The same kitchen has new cabinets says the owner like your stupid. Last example was cabinets in sort of a butter yellow. Orange walls like some fruit explosion took place.
The place I showed that was black & white squares everywhere. It still makes me sick just thinking about it.

Hoarding doesn't reduce value a smuch as neglecting maintanance does. Like not replacing rotted wood, letting gutters get clogged and overflow, not installing new shingles when needed. Water damage can cause many problems.

Smoking is one of the worst. Although I suppose if they create a fire from that and aren't covered by home insurance, I suppose that may be worse.

Deferred maintenance is somthing that you cannot hide and exponentially diminshes value in almost every aspect of home ownership. Luckily you will always have the land value as the house rots away around you.

Odors that will never go away, including cigarette smoke, dog urine, fried foods and spicy foods without proper ventilation.
Bad DIY: remove a load bearing wall, unpermitted addition, wiring/plumbing not to code, etc.
Environmental destruction: Toxic chemicals dumped onto the property ("I changed my own oil for years, I poured the used oil into that hole over there").
Cutting down mature hardwood trees that will not grow back in two lifetimes.
Neglected maintenance, including clogged gutters.

Its bad enough when the harm their home's value but when they actually "DISTROY" it that is really awful. Other than that I think Candice A.

I had one with heavy dark ornate furniture all over the place and lots of old world heavy art all over the walls. The home was large, but no one could tell because of the furniture and the art work.
